To draw well: Talent or skill?

[gcc4426]

John says being good at drawing/sketching doesn't make you talented. I think it is talent, as skill is something ANYBODY can master. What do you think?

skill. everyone one can draw, dli lng nindot ang uban. mao nang mag praktis pra mahanas.

its a talent but it needs to be developed and practice...

[digitalsuperman]

True talent is a skill honed to perfection that it becomes a part of oneself, a second nature, a subconscious extension. One does not learn to sing or dance without practice. Artists became masters of their craft through sheer practice. One can see a talented artist through his sheer passion, imagination, creativity and the drive to improve ones skill.

I'm in the animation and visual effects industry and, I have to say that the ones that always succeed are those who worked really hard to learn their craft than those that obviously have the potential, but were too confident of their on-hand skills to care to develop themselves.

In light of the graphics artist, the talent you refer to is specifically the "gift of perception" which some of us don't readily posses. But it can be acquired through practice. Unfortunately, the concepts of drawing are too alien to some people that it discourages them to even try.

To answer your question:

Being able to draw well is a skill that one has worked hard on. And that same skill if taken to the next level, is what you call true Talent.

I agree with this one. If passionate ka, you'll become skillful. Talent is just high skill. Pero the difference is sa innate gift of perception. But that's as difficult to explain as art itself.

[pankie101]

surely it takes practice and the tool helps..
but it barely offers anything kung dili jd ka kamao mo-draw..
being a digital art enthusiast (kay anha ra mn jud ko kutob)..i vote for TALENT jud.
i've been practicing for quite some time now..but dili gihapon ko ka-draw ug akong own lineart..
i color other people's linearts, i give life to drawings...but i can never create one...
no matter how hard i try and practice..dili jud ko kamao...
